| Subject: | zero time Lycoming |
There has been some discussion about "zero time" Lycoming engines,
sold by an engine shop.
Not to pick nits, but aviation has its own terminology and it's less
confusing to stick with it.
In FAA parlance (for certified aircraft), only the engine manufacturer
(Lycoming in this case) can
"zero time" an engine. When they do that, they throw away the existing
engine log book and issue
a new one. Independent engine shops can do the same job, to the same
tolerances, using the same
parts and still have to call it a rebuilt engine, and it continues to
accrue hours in its existing log book.
They usually refer to this as "rebuilt to new limits" or something like
that.
Now, none of this directly applies to experimentals but its good to
stick with standard terminology,
to avoid confusion. And PLEASE don't take this note as insulting to
anyone ... not my intention.

Subject: Zenith750-List: Elevator control cable fairleads, part# 75C4-5
From: "Jimmy Young" <jdy100@comcast.net>
I mounted mine with a slot cut from the top side, since the cable was
already installed. You are lifting on the cable so there is no danger of
it coming out. I also had to cut a slot in the fuselage skin from the
hole
for the cable in an aft direction in order to give the cable clearance. I
then put a doubler over the area to restore what strength I lost(advised
by
Caleb).
